NOTES BY V.SADAGOPAN
*********************

(1)In this slOkam , Swami Desikan answers the question
he asked in the previos slOkam : " ThulyAdhikArA yadhi
KINNU Santha: thvAmEva nithyam sirasA vahanthi?"( If 
all the four of you are same in status , how come 
the great Ones wear always only You on their heads ?).
Swamy gives two closely realted answers for his 
own question : (1) Thvam Parasya Pumsa:tath Paramam
Padham nithyam BhiBarshi( You wear those famous feet
of the Supreme Lord on Your head (2) anyAdhrusAM vyAmOdhasAm 
padhAni thvayi aayathanthE { You hold suzeranity (Lordship)
over all other devathAs /nithyasooris. It is no wonder
therefore all the puNyasAlis wear You alone on their heads..V.S

(2) Swamy Desikan plays with the double meaning of the word ,
Padham . This word can mean either foot or status (padhavi)
as in Brahma Padham or Brahma Pattam .

(3)Srimadh Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukhE ! when the Lord's
dhivya Padham ( Thiruvadi) is under your juridsdiction (adhInam ) ,
it is no wonder that the Pattams of every one of the anya dEvathAs 
are under your control . 

(4)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh MaNi PaadhukhE ! You are 
supporting the celebrated lotus feet of Your Lord always. 
Those , who are not blessed like You obtain their exalted 
status and rank through Your mighty grace. They owe truly 
their blessings to You .
